The first video game was just a joke to engage schoolchildren. But let's take it step by step

😘When and how did the first
😘video game appear? Is it similar
😘to what we have today?

It all began not as long ago as one might think. In 1958, there was an open house at a laboratory in Upton

In previous years, visitors, especially schoolchildren, had not shown much interest in the exhibition. This year would have been no different if it weren't for physicist William Higinbotham

😎 In just a few hours, he created Tennis for Two – the first video game in the world

The game required two players. They would hit the ball over a net using controllers. One button controlled the direction, while the other launched the ball

Just a couple of decades later, games became a real business. In 1984, Tetris was released. Shortly thereafter, video games took over computers and continue to hold their ground to this day
